you could try to contact amd to see if they will warranty the chip, but bottom line, amd may not even warranty the chip as you damaged it when pulling it out of the socket. its not MSI's fault or AMD's fault at this point. in the future, if you wish to pull a chip out of a board and you have the stock heatsink on it, turn the machine on for a while, maybe at least 20-30 minutes and then run a stress test for most of that time frame like prime 95 or IBT and then it will loosen up that cured thermal compound. amd's stock thermal grease is known to be more glue like then anything. then when your ready to remove the heatsink, turn off the machine, flip the locking arm on the heatsink loose then give it a slight twist and pull up. usually that will separate the cruddy tim so you don't damage the cpu. the good news then is that at least you know your msi board isn't dead. if you cant get that crosshair V to start working then you might be able to rma that board to asus as usually asus warranties via serial number not original purchaser and should honor that board. try the 8320 you picked up in your MSI, and just be careful about removing chips from boards in the future my friend.
